Sad times

I don't know what's happening... Everyone is sad and melancholy... And the worst is that I'm starting feeling the same! That's one of the reasons why I didn't post these last days, I was sad, upset, angry and depressed.
In the blogs I usually read I know about the death of Beth's husband, of Céline's sister, I read about Helena and Sandra's anguish...
I don't know these people personnally, even so I feel a little of their pain and anguish and I feel helpless because I can't do nothing unless being solidary.
